Crisp mornings. 🤍🤍

I know fall doesn’t “officially” start (in the N hemisphere) for another week, but as the acorns continue to tumble down our roof, I can’t help but declare it’s already here! 🤗 Getting all my sweaters and beanies out.

How are you preparing?

When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.

It's Friday! Your assignment this weekend: Hang out in a bookstore or library. Spend time with the books. Chat with the booksellers & librarians. Enjoy the community. This is activism. Your presence energizes these spaces & these spaces need energy. Have a great weekend!

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

Working on learning more about writing graphic novels and right now I’m paneling and so learning more about that. As a designer (my background) it’s been really interesting to think about panel sizes and where text might go.

What’s eating your strawberries? It might not be what you think…. Garden hobgoblins, anyone?

An example of my second round of paneling as I work on my graphic novel pitch. Red pencils for panels and some art “gestures”, blue notes are art guides, and black is script/dialogue. I sketch alternative panel layouts to the side and make general notes in the margins. #graphicnovel

If you cannot convince people that the government kidnapping people off the streets and conducting a takeover of the capital is full fledged fascism, they are never going to be convinced. Not until the boots are kicking down their front door.

Picked up The Anxious Generation and it’s quite illuminating for our relationship with technology and how it’s shaping childhood (in detrimental ways). Highly recommend and I’m only just beginning it! #anxiousgeneration #technology

Oh thank you! The little world is so fun. I’ve been playing the little snufkin video game recently too, which is fun.

Kelsey Buzzell @kelseybuzzell.bsky.social · Aug 10

Oh I love that! And thank you!

I learned that Tove Jansson was born today, August 9th, in 1914 - So here’s some Moomin fan art to celebrate!

Yesterday was my birthday and @stavesacre.bsky.social got me the loveliest flowers! I’ve underestimated how happy fresh flowers make me. Instant space brightener. 🤍

I don’t know man, the utter abandonment of environmentalism we’ve been careening towards in the 2020s is kind of…I don’t know. Anyone who thinks the planet can take a tripling of plastics production in the next thirty years is either delusional or hates the world and I’m really struggling with that.

This weekend I spent about an hour sorting through our Legos (kids had out) and built Dracula a party house. So fun to pause and be a kid again. My daughter kept giving #Dracula a cupcake #Lego we had (not pictured) 😂
